Cannot ping vWLC management interface from host pc

Why are you using Host Only?  Use NAT or Bridged and then you can ping the guest machine from the host.

Thank you very much for your fast reply. I just tried Nat and Bridge mode, it does not work. Maybe I need to change vWLC Management interface ip address 10.2.2.2/24 to 192.168.1.200( host PC wifi ip address 192.168.1.100/24) , do you think so ? Anther way is to setup physical ethernet port ip address 10.2.2.100/24. this way it is easy to configure though the port does not connect to internet

If your host is 192.168.1.100 then Bridged Networking should give you 192.168.1.1xx (it should be on the same subnet as your host).

Make sure in VMware Network Editor that Bridged Networking is the standard built-in Bridged connection. Do not try to edit it.  You should have only VMnet 0, VMnet 1 and 8 in Network Editor and Bridged should be default. Make sure you run Network Editor as Administrator and make sure Bridged is set to automatic.

You should be able to use host-only networking without a problem.

Did you tag the management interface in a VLAN?  It sounds like you did.  If you did, set the VLAN ID to 0 instead and try again.

@craigbeck,

I did not see the request during installing vWLC in vmware. I do not know it, can you tell how to do it ? Thank you!

Host-only networking is the most basic method though, John.  Bridging requires interaction with a real NIC so its actually more complicated than host-only which does everything natively inside VMWare.

The management interface can be checked in the VMWare console by issuing the following command at the vWLC CLI...

show interface summary

I know that, but if VMware is working properly, bridged networking is dead simple.

@eemoon - I suggest uninstalling VMware Workstation and then restart, reinstall .

I know where you're coming from, John, but the host it's installed on should be able to ping the guest VM natively without interacting with the physical NIC, so if that doesn't work it's likely to be a simple misconfiguration on the guest rather than something as drastic as reinstalling VMWare.  That'd be a last resort in my opinion.

The problem with the vWLC too, John, is that the networking config is a bit complicated as you have to actually implement two separate vswitches in order to get the data and service ports working, and that can cause connectivity issues with the management port. :-)

craigbeck, you are right. i did the following command and it show the result as I expected. i think i miss some configuration. Can you give a bit more suggestion ? or send me some link ? Thank you

The management interface can be checked in the VMWare console by issuing the following command at the vWLC CLI...
show interface summary

Can you post the output from that command, please?

Please see attached screenshot picture where the ip address is changed and it is different with ip address i posted above since i began to troubleshoot. I can change it back. Thank you!

I tried several ways to fix the issue, but now it still cannot ping from PC host to vWLC management interface, but it can ping vmware interface 10.2.2.1/24.

I configure vmware interface ip address 10.2.2.1/24, vWLC management interface ip address 10.2.2.2/24, its gateway 10.2.2.1
Attached please find three screenshots. Thank you for your help.

Can you see the GUI of the vWLC?

https://10.2.2.2

Yes I can access the GUI. Thank you
